Ben Lang didn’t expect to receive so much hate just because he was organized. For three years, he and his wife, Karen-Lynn Amouyal, have used Notion, a popular software, to optimize their home and relationships. Its version of the tool, commonly used by businesses to manage complex projects, works like an enhanced Google Doc, with sections for a shopping list, to-do lists and details about upcoming trips.
More unusual is a section created by Mr. Lang, a venture capitalist who previously worked at Notion, on principles (“what’s important to us as a couple”). Another section, titled “Learnings,” describes things the couple discovered about each other, such as their love language and Myers-Briggs test results. There’s a list of friends they want to set up on dates. They also keep a journal of memories of their romantic evenings. Mr Lang, 30, was so proud of the creation that last month he began promoting a model layout to other people. “My wife and I use Notion religiously to manage our daily lives,” he wrote on X. “I made this into a template, let me know if you’d like to see it!”
